\"a) Hi ha exposicions en les que un entra sense haver-s\u2019ho plantejat pr\u00e8viament. S\u00f3n exposicions que apareixen en el tr\u00e0nsit entre aquells punts s\u00ed planificats en un recorregut determinat. De vegades augmenten el contingut de la categoria “llocs de pas”, una etiqueta marcada per l’amn\u00e8sia discont\u00ednua, la inclusi\u00f3 excloent i una indifer\u00e8ncia reversible. D\u2019altres vegades, abandonen el seu car\u00e0cter circumstancial per esdevenir exposicions destacades. I hi ha vegades en qu\u00e8 aquestes exposicions “enmig de” emmagatzemen un grau d’atenci\u00f3 vacil\u00b7lant, que no sap ben b\u00e9 on empla\u00e7ar-les amb precisi\u00f3 dins de l’arxiu est\u00e8tic. Segurament siguin les m\u00e9s problem\u00e0tiques a l’hora d’atorgar la narrativa d’una valoraci\u00f3 que vagi m\u00e9s enll\u00e0 de les impressions. Segurament siguin tamb\u00e9 el tipus d’exposicions que, at\u00e8s l’esfor\u00e7 que requereix la presa de determinaci\u00f3, queden suspeses en una indecisi\u00f3… prudent?<\/p>\n

Una cosa aix\u00ed passa amb An Escalator Can Never Break, It Can Only Become Stairs de Steve Bishop, una exposici\u00f3 que va sorgir com una desviaci\u00f3 en del meu cam\u00ed cap a una altra, la de Gerard Byrne a la Whitechapel Gallery<\/a>. I si aquest comentari \u00e9s rellevant \u00e9s perqu\u00e8 quan es coneix un context art\u00edstic per\u00f2 no s\u2019intima amb ell, les nostres valoracions com espectadors estan influ\u00efdes pel pes simb\u00f2lic dels seus espais expositius i \/ o la reputaci\u00f3 dels seus artistes. Entrar a una galeria de la qual no es tenen m\u00e9s referents que l’experi\u00e8ncia pr\u00f2pia per veure una exposici\u00f3 d’un artista que tampoc es coneix pot donar com a resultat l’abandonament immediat de la sala quan res crida l’atenci\u00f3. Per\u00f2 tamb\u00e9 \u00e9s una oportunitat per experimentar un cert grau zero en qu\u00e8 el (re)coneixement est\u00e8tic derivi de les obres exposades i no de qui exposa o on s’exposa.<\/p>\n

An Escalator Can Never Break, It Can Only Become Stairs \u00e9s una exposici\u00f3 que pren prestat el seu t\u00edtol de la instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 principal que l’artista canadenc establert a Londres, Steve Bishop, presenta a la galeria Carlos\/Ishikawa. Aquesta po\u00e8tica de l’evid\u00e8ncia for\u00e7ada a trav\u00e9s del t\u00edtol acompanya gaireb\u00e9 totes les peces d’una exposici\u00f3 que comen\u00e7a on solen acabar: en aquest llibre en blanc de visites on se suposa que els espectadors hem de deixar-hi els nostres comentaris, com molts adolescents deixen un senyal del seu pas a les portes dels lavabos p\u00fablics. Bishop decideix aportar-hi el seu gra de sorra amb un llapis en el qual est\u00e0 inscrit A Shared Vision is No Vision At All. Les ganes d\u2019endur-se el llapis sense m\u00e9s motiu que una inclinaci\u00f3 adolescent cap el furt tampoc falten.<\/p>\n

D’entre tots els treballs all\u00e0 reunits, hi destaca una part de la instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 que imposa el seu nom a tot el conjunt: una construcci\u00f3 de fusta, a mode de taula, sobre la qual hi ha un got de vidre buit que gira sobre s\u00ed mateix i que, gr\u00e0cies a la seva incansable rotaci\u00f3 cont\u00ednua, sembla simplement un got sobre la taula, fins que un s’acosta i el toca en un altre impuls irreverent. Est\u00e0tic, buit i gastat. Per\u00f2 un got que es trenca, a difer\u00e8ncia de les escales mec\u00e0niques, perd totalment la seva funci\u00f3. Com la perd un got amb el qual ning\u00fa pot beure. En aquesta manipulaci\u00f3 del llenguatge visual dels objectes m\u00e9s quotidians sembla trobar-se la base te\u00f2rica del treball de Bishop, la producci\u00f3 anterior del qual poc t\u00e9 a veure amb aquesta est\u00e8tica d\u2019all\u00f2 precari que maneja l’exposici\u00f3. Per\u00f2 aix\u00f2 \u00e9s una cosa que se sap a posteriori, buscant informaci\u00f3 sobre l’artista, i no en aquells moments.<\/p>\n

\"b)<\/p>\n

An Escalator Can Never Break, It Can Only Become Stairs continua -com a pe\u00e7a- amb la construcci\u00f3 d’un passad\u00eds estret entre dos murs provisionals, on s’insereix i amaga un altre treball: When the Lights Go Out You Keep Moving, una projecci\u00f3 on una porta girat\u00f2ria, com el got anterior, gira sobre s\u00ed mateixa. I que, en cas de trencar-se, tamb\u00e9 podria abandonar la seva funci\u00f3 com a punt d’acc\u00e9s. L’exposici\u00f3 segueix en els murs de la galeria amb If Everything Has a Place then a Place too has a Place VIII -una finestra a\u00efllant que exhibeix, com si fos un aparador, un magatzem amb trastos constru\u00eft expressament-, Lamp Looks in Different Light – sis min\u00fascules impressions, el contingut de les quals obeeix directament al t\u00edtol- i How can One Thing in General be Many Things in Particular? -una pe\u00e7a d’acer recobert de pintura que es fa passar per un llen\u00e7 en blanc, que suposa l’excepci\u00f3 per a una materialitat conscientment pobra i ef\u00edmera-.<\/p>\n

M\u00e9s enll\u00e0 de l’est\u00e8tica del precari que organitza An Escalator Can Never Break, It Can Only Become Stairs, que pot agradar m\u00e9s o menys, all\u00f2 problem\u00e0tic d’aquesta exposici\u00f3 s\u00f3n els seus t\u00edtols. Les derives conceptuals de l’art van ressaltar la import\u00e0ncia del t\u00edtol. Aquest era capa\u00e7 de completar un significat al mateix temps que obria altres possibilitats de lectura. No obstant aix\u00f2, aquesta ret\u00f2rica d’afirmaci\u00f3 d’una evid\u00e8ncia que l’artista intueix no pensada per l’espectador, pot tenir un altre efecte: que pretenent dir m\u00e9s del que aparentment es diu, no s’estigui dient res m\u00e9s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
